Our tour operator was a no-show. We waited for 15 minutes, but no one came. I called but there was no answer and no one responded to my messages.
The Christmas mark was NOT open - false advertisement :( But our guide was knowledgeable and very nice. We had already explored the areas she took us to so it was a little bit of a waste of time, but we did enjoy the information.
Our guide was Angie and she was AMAZING! Incredibly knowledgeable about the area and an excellent conversationalist. Would take this tour again, and again! 10/5 stars ❤️
Great route for the tour with an engaging guide. She was very knowledgeable in Swedish Christmas traditions, as well as Swedish culture itself. Of course, the glögg and chocolates also enhanced the experience. 🙂
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of Swedish Christmas to life. She was also wonderfully friendly and treated us to glogg and chocolate along the way. Made for a great tour.
A very knowledgeable and pleasant, friendly guide, Anđela (spelling). We learnt a great deal about the story of Christmas and how this differs from in this part of the world! Warm thanks again to our lovely guide and very best wishes for 2025 - God Yul 🐐⭐️🕯️
This tour was pure magic! Strolling through Stockholm’s Old Town during Christmas period felt like stepping into a winter fairy tale. The cozy Christmas market was charming, with twinkling lights and festive stalls. My guide, Angie, was fantastic—sharing so much about Swedish Christmas traditions that brought the city to life. I never thought i could see and learn so much about a city within a couple of hours. The warm glogg was the perfect touch, and seeing the tallest Christmas tree and dazzling lights beyond the Old Town was breathtaking. It’s the perfect blend of culture, history, and holiday cheer. If you want to experience Stockholm at its most festive and magical, this tour is a must!
